If you open the config file and read where it says something like the wolrd `source' (use the search function provided in your editor if you can't see it yourself). There is a very very good example of how to add a new line in.

1)Go to this path
/usr/etc
2)Edit kismet.conf whit kate
3)Find the line
#ncsource=wlan0:name=intel,hop=false,channel=11
4)delete the simbol # and put somthing like
ncsource=wlan0:name=Atheros, type=ath5k
Obs.- In my case i have a driver ath5k chipset atheros
5)Save changues
Obs.- Actually the command kismet -c driver,interface, name does not work with the startup of kismet.
